The beret badge looks like a Rising Sun collar badge (many of the armoured units wore collar badges on their berets during WW2).

This is actually the first pic I have seen of the Drivers Proficiency Badge being worn.

These guys are also Craftsmen so I guess they would be attached to the RAEME/Tech Support Squadron of the regiment.
